If you anticipate missing the luncheon, contact Mary-Jean so that meals are ordered accordingly.

Typically, once a year Mary-Jean will hold a Seniors’ Gathering. This meeting will have government officials present, allowing Seniors to discuss any concerns or ensure they are up-to-date on all community, federal, and provincial information.

An annual Christmas luncheon and Bingo is hosted at the Centre by Karen’s Katering.
